⚾ Starting Pitchers
Im Chan-gyu enters with an 11-4 record and a 4.14 ERA. Against NC Dinos this season, he’s yet to register a decision, holding a spotless 0.00 ERA. While his win-loss numbers look impressive, an ERA north of 4.00 suggests the LG starter can be vulnerable to giving up runs.
Koo Chang-mo stands at 9-4 with a 3.89 ERA. He’s also yet to face LG this season, carrying a clean 0.00 ERA against them. Statistically, he appears a touch more reliable on the mound, but he’ll be up against a lineup that just racked up 11 hits and will be playing in front of their home crowd.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The first game saw nine runs scored, and the same minimum will be needed to clear the line again. Both teams are hitting above .268, while their team ERAs hover around 4.8-4.9. The starting pitchers are stronger than average for their respective rotations, but neither Im Chan-gyu nor Koo Chang-mo are putting up numbers this season that suggest a low-scoring contest is on the cards. NC tallied four runs and ten hits last time out, with LG answering back with five runs and 11 hits. With both lineups swinging well and the bullpens showing vulnerability, the smart play here is on over 8.5 total runs.
